[McIDAS #VON-803764]: 20220830: GOES west schedule

Very good.  Just so you know, we maintain a 30 day "rolling archive" of
all satellite image products on our data servers, so you could grab the
GOES-18 imagery that you did not save if needed.

The short and sweet of the can be boiled down to:

- switch to using the EAST, EASTALL, WEST, WESTALL ADDE groups when wanting
  to look at/use GOES-East and GOES-West imagery

- be aware that the long existing datasets RTGOESR, GOESRALL, RTGOESS,
  and GOESALL will only contain GOES-16 and GOES-17 imagery, respectively

  Also, RTGOEST and GOESTALL were created to only contain GOES-18 imagery.

I think you understand the comment about how McIDAS-X caches the IP
address of an ADDE server in a local disk file, and this works great
as long as the IP address of the server does not change.  Our intention
of floating our adde.ucar.edu service to different machines runs into
a problem because of this caching, however, so users needed to be informed
of why something may stop working for them.

re:
> Enjoy your long weekend!

Thanks, you too!

Cheers,

Tom
